Please read the pet description IN IT'S ENTIRETY before applying.  Thank you for your cooperation. You Tube video link:  https://youtu.be/TGypFUrmfKk   FOR ADOPTION!   Note:  Only those with a responsible dog ownership history and excellent vet reference need apply. (For more pics, visit nr2r.petfinder.com or www.RoadtoRescueLA.org)   INSTRUCTIONS TO APPLY: PLEASE read profile thoroughly BEFORE applying: DOG APPLICATION LINK:    http://www.roadtorescuela.org/dog-application Temari (female) Intake date:   4/14/2024 Maltese DOB 1/14/2017 6.10 pounds Adoption fee:  $200, which includes vetting, microchip Good with other dogs:  yes Cats:  unknown – we do not have cats to be able to test Vetting and other:  altered (spayed/neutered), up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccinations, heartworm negative, fecal negative, dental performed (5 teeth extracted), treated for ear mites (may need add’l treatments), on monthly flea/tick and heartworm prevention, microchipped Health issues:  none found. Temperament:  very submissive and sweet Energy level:  low Groom needs:  High;  requires regular professional grooming, along with intermittent brushing to avoid matting Biography:  Temari is part of a breeder release of 9 dogs to our rescue.  While she was scared at first, she does come around.  She is very submissive as you can see from her video but once she’s comfortable at the rescue and then at her new home, we know she’ll perk up!  Temari does well in a kennel if needed but the leash is foreign to her.  She’s going to make someone a very special companion for many years to come!   **IMPORTANT NOTES** *We do adopt out of state provided the adopter is willing and able to travel to us once approved.  We do not ship or transport our animals and there is no exception to this rule.   *Most of our adoptable dogs are small, and they are never to be left outside alone, ever!  We only rehome our dogs to adopters that plan to have them as inside dogs and part of the family!   We do allow adopters with doggie doors, provided there is SECURE fencing.  There is no exception to this rule!   *PREDATORS:    IF THIS DOG IS UNDER 10 POUNDS, the dog is to be monitored and protected when outside at all times!  PREDATOR-THREAT IS A REAL DANGER!  For example, a hawk tried to pick up a Chihuahua owned by a friend visiting Ninna’s house… RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE VISITOR.  Thankfully the visitor was watching the dog and the hawk was wrestled off of the Chihuahua but it did require an ER visit and she is was very lucky to survive.   TAKE IT SERIOUSLY!     *NO SMALL CHILDREN!!  As with almost all the dogs at NR2R, young children or a very active household is not recommended.   Many of our dogs come to us BECAUSE of small children, thus we do not rehome our dogs to homes with babies or young children.  KEEP THIS IN MIND IF YOU HAVE VISITING GRANDCHILDREN AS WELL!  Even if the children are older, it would depend on the child AND the parent or parents.    *HOUSETRAINING:  We do NOT guarantee that any of our adoptable dogs are housetrained.   While most should be easily trained, keep in mind that they live in a rescue where they have access to the outdoors all day and are inside at night.  Even if they were surrendered to us as housetrained, it doesn’t mean they will automatically be housetrained in your home.  Housetraining them should be easy in the right home with time, patience, and consistency.    *KENNELING:  We always recommend kenneling when you cannot supervise your dog.  This helps with housetraining and any destructive tendencies until you get to know your knew addition.   *We do not guarantee the age, health or temperament of any of the dogs we rehome.  Many of the dogs we take in come from animal control and rarely do we have histories and even when we do, many times the histories are inaccurate.   *Only adopters with a responsible dog ownership history and excellent vet reference need apply.   If you bring this pet into your heart and home, you will receive in return many years of love, companionship, and loyalty.  That’s our guarantee.   Other notes:  This pet is available for adoption through Ninna’s Road to Rescue, Benton, La.  We are 501c3 non-profit organization.  Our mission is to rescue primarily small-breed dogs and to re-home them into RESPONSIBLE and CARING forever homes.    DOG APPLICATION LINK:   http://www.roadtorescuela.org/dog-application Time may be of the essence if you are looking to adopt a specific animal.  We do not reserve animals, unless and until we have approved your application, provided the animal is still available at the time we receive your application.  The first APPROVED application we receive will be considered.  We are NOT a first come, first serve rescue!! We adopt our rescues out to the RIGHT home, not just A home. Only responsible pet owners need apply. Applying to adopt does NOT commit you to the adoption NOR does it guarantee the adoption. CONTACT:  Our adoptable pets are updated regularly, but if you want to check the availability of a pet... OR still have questions AFTER reading this profile, message us via our Facebook page.   Please indicate the name when communicating with us. www.RoadtoRescueLA.org   “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”  ~ Gandhi Be responsible ~  Always spay/neuter, keep your dogs on heartworm prevention, vaccinate against disease... and if you bring a pet into your life, commit to that pet for life.  Blessings.

Story
Hello, dear friends! My name is Sully, and I'm on a mission to find my forever home. I may be a Maltese senior pup, but let me tell you, age is just a number, and my heart is as young and vibrant as ever. I was found off of Providence road, and despite life's twists and turns, I'm ready for a new chapter filled with love and companionship. Now, I'll be honest with you – my vision isn't what it used to be. It's not a hurdle, though. I might not see everything crystal clear, but I see the beauty in every moment, and I'm ready to embrace it with open paws. My friendly demeanor knows no bounds, and I absolutely adore getting attention. Belly rubs, ear scratches, you name it – I'm all in for the love. I've been described as an easy-going dog, and I believe in the simple joys of life. What more could a senior pup like me ask for than to live out my golden years in a loving home? I've got so much love to give, and I'm searching for that special someone who can appreciate the wisdom and warmth that comes with a senior companion. If you're looking for a furry friend who's mastered the art of love and companionship, then it's me, Sully! Don't let my senior status fool you; I've got plenty of love left to share. If you're interested in making my twilight years the best they can be, go ahead and apply or send a message today. I can't wait to meet you and start this heartwarming journey together. Let's create a home filled with love, warmth, and the joy of having a senior pup by your side!April 23, 2024, 9:10 am
